Thursday 1st May

Happy May Day! Spring has most certainly sprung, though it was a lot cooler and greyer here than in other areas. We had a lovely trip this afternoon with a great variety of seabirds spotted, including kittiwakes, shearwaters and more puffins! At one site we spotted a group of several male and female Eider ducks – if they’re thinking of raising a brood there, they’ll need to watch out for those fierce black backed gulls. We also had a great encounter with several harbour porpoises which made us rather late back.
